| 13 | | Waiting for a reading to start | ||
| 14 | | when there's nobody coming anyway | ||
| 15 | | is like waiting [for the tide][] | ||
| 16 | | to make some meaning of the beach. | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | | The sea doesn't know or care | ||
| 19 | | what the beach even is, let alone | ||
| 20 | | its cares or its troubles, its | ||
| 21 | | little nagging under-the-skin annoyances | ||
| 22 | | [that make the beach the beach][]. | ||
| 23 | |||
| 24 | | Sandworms, for example, or those crabs | ||
| 25 | | with big pincers on one side | ||
| 26 | | but not the other. Those really get | ||
| 27 | | the beach's gander up, but the sea | ||
| 28 | | doesn't care. The sea | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | | only wants to [caress][] the beach | ||
| 31 | | with its [soft arms][], to tell the beach | ||
| 32 | | how much it's loved by the sea, | ||
| 33 | | that complex of water, salt, and | ||
| 34 | | the moon's gravity, the mercury | ||
| 35 | | rising up and down slowly, like a [yawn][]. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | | The sea only cares about itself. | ||
| 38 | | The beach lays there and takes it. | ||
